Idrive tweakage? Possible?

dma550 · 08-06-2008, 09:55 AM

I see there are a lot of sites talking about idrive customization. Does anyone know if tweaking is possible with the Nav in the MY08 cars? I've seen pimpmynav and wondered if I could do anything like that.

For instance, can I change the voice of "Eva" as my kids call her (from Wall-E) to say John Cleese (or Heidi Klum, more appropriate

), like I have on Tomtom on my pocketPC?

Thanks, this is the place I read, but it doesn't seem to have any info about our nav.

From what I've read on that board you can change the voice. Give it a try and let us know. What can it cost? A burned DVD that's now worthless? Or something more sinister like iDrive detecting a non-BMW branded disk and refusing to guide you anywhere other than an authorized BMW dealer?

That's right. I'm afraid to go first.

Hah!

I want John Cleese back from my Tomtom6 install:

BMW Robot lady: "PLEASE MAKE A LEGAL U-TURN"

John Cleese: "Please direct your car in the opposite direction in which your are presently directing your car"

BMW Robot lady: "YOU HAVE ARRIVED"

John Cleese: "You can get out now, but I'm not going to help you with your luggage"
